The Truth About Bert & Ernie

I'm certain there's no need for me to introduce those 2 characters you see on the left.

Yesh! They are my childhood heros from the basement apartment of 1-2-3 Sesame, Sesame Street - Bert & Ernie!!! *woo hoo*

You know how there has always been speculations about Bert & Ernie's sexuality. That they're more than best buds & room-mates?

Well, being the Nonsense that I am, I decided to Google about Bert & Ernie's REAL RELATIONSHIP!

So here's what I found out. Bert & Ernie were originally planned to be like parent & child. But because Ernie is always tricking Bert, they decided to just make them best friends.

Now, what is Bert & Ernie's significance in Sesame Street? The truth is, they represent individuality.

Wearing '70s clothes, using weird lingo, Bert's obsession for pigeons (bet you don't remember his most beloved pigeon's name is Bernice), taking baths with a rubber ducky, living with another male in an apartment and have no girlfriends...etc, etc.

Truth is, in the real world, these dudes are bound to be serious outcasts.
But that's what makes Bert & Ernie so special. They don't give hoots about what others think of them! They DARE TO BE DIFFERENT!!!

So there you go... my true childhood heros!

P.S. Thou I do find the alternative explanation about Bert & Ernie's relationship here rather entertaining.... *hahahaha*
